Saw a piece on the BBC today regarding some research into people that quit smoking in groups, i.e with colleagues, friends etc are much more likely to succeed. Not sure whether it translates as well 'online' as much as the real world but the many 'teams' on here suggest theres a definate benefit of having like minded people going through the same things you are.
The article is here news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/... thought it was worth sharing with the masses for discussion or information purposes, maybe it might inspire some lurkers to consider it.
How odd - i was thinking about the 'teams' today and was gonna post but life took over, anyway seems that the teams are not so strong on here - i think all the NYQ's have gone - from this forum at least - and call outs from others have not been swamped with replies either.
Was it Kay saying earlier that all her family 'quit buddies' had started again??
Not saying everyone is smoking again - just moving on i guess
